Leaks/Status Meetings/2007-October-16

Agenda

Get leak monitoring as an extension so that QA can test for leaks during litmus.
- bug 394466 should fix OS leaks on linux.
- AI:cbarrett Look into OS leaks on mac.
Improve tinderbox tests.
- Need to measure leaked GDI/user/kernel handles on windows. Possibly show on tinderbox.
- bug 374822 Need a windows tinderbox with leak numbers since OS leaks are lower there.
- AI:sicking Do leak monitoring while running tinderbox tests.
  - We do want to run trace-refcnt, trace-malloc on reftest/mochitest. (bug 397724)
  - Ideally we'd shut down between each testcase to identify where leaks happen. Mostly useful until we reach 0, but would help with regressions too.
- Want a separate test suite that tests for assertions, crashes, leaks. (bug 397725)
Important leak bugs:
- bug 396368 Live connect leak the biggest one still not fixed.
- bug 398292 tracks bugs that make it difficult to find other leaks through fuzzing.
- bug 394052 Seems to be the only remaining window/document/docshell leak in Mochitests on at least some platforms, possibly all of them.
Finding leaks in extensions
- Need to solve license issue
CoScripter Leak regression suite

AI:sicking Look into enabling trace-refcount, without the tracing part in nightlies.
AI:cbarrett Look into OS leaks on Mac.
AI:sicking Talk with build about setting up a Windows leak test machine (bug 374822).
